What bothers me is when I see established good artists actually trying hard to make nice looking NFT artwork. But people aren't buying them for the looks so it's upsetting they are putting so much effort in. I on the other hand would consider doing it because my artwork isn't good and people aren't buying it based on the quality of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Here's a quote with an interview with Diplo Quote What inspired you to buy a Bored Ape NFT? They remind me of the stuff I collected as a kid, like Ninja Turtles. And it feels cool to have one — I can show it to Post Malone at a party, and he'll be like, "oh cool, you got that one?" It's kind of silly, but it's a flex — like buying a really nice outfit. Except the NFT is going to stay in my wallet forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricofoley Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Just in the past few days I've started noticing that NFTs/crypto and "the metaverse" are seemingly starting to congeal into one giant scam. These people are going to start trying to sell you access to entirely fictional locations. Absolutely cursed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't quite the same thing, but it made me think of this Kelsey Mckinney article about immersive art exhibitions: What Do We Do With The Big Business Of Immersive Art? | Defector DEFECTOR.COM It is profitable to project a bunch of work by a beloved artist at giant scale and charge people $28 to see it. Capitalism does not breed innovation, but the duplication of a dozen versions of the... Basically, museums or any large space will project famous paintings (all in public domain) on the walls, charge a big fee, and reel in an Instagram crowd. It's a similar concept--paying money to experience something that isn't quite real. I had a bunch of students who went to a Michelangelo "exhibit" last year (and then turn in nearly identical essays ). They all enjoyed it and seemed to learn something. And it's not like anyone was flying to Italy last year, so I guess it was the only way to come close to seeing the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
